At this point I'm ok with Whop taking over and not looking back. Guidry can give him a breather when Whop is tired. He's lost confidence which you can't do at WR. There is nothing a coach can do to fix that. He needs to sit and play a backup role. He can't handle being the starter. Whop is bigger, stronger, and not afraid of contact.Quote:

I like Joe and I like what he is trying to do but football is about who can run the ball and who can stop it. Who can block and who can tackle. Execution. Its not about scheme and overthinking everything. I see not enough execution and too much overthinking from us on offense. Like I've said before this is 1 day in the spring and this wasnt a game it was basically a glorified practice but this is a 7-8 win team at the minimumQuote:

Auburn and aTm were great wins last year. I just don't buy into you guys opinion that bc we beat them last year we'll beat them this year on the roadQuote:

We are a 6-6 team that may grab that 7th win or could mess around and end up 5-7.
I'm not getting worked up over a spring game. I've done that too much over the years.
I think we take a major step back this year unless the passing game comes around, which is not looking good. Even so, this take is overly pessimistic, no?Quote:

UT is a toss up away - agree with you there. They should probably be slightly favored until we get sure signs their head coach has continued his determined efforts to burn that program all the way to the ground.
And the idea LSU at home is completely off the table is far fetched also. That game is an unlikely W, but not a certain loss.
I think we win 7 pretty easily - kState, 3 other non-conference, Kentucky, ole miss, and Take one road game from Ark or Ut. Wins beyond that look hard to predict
Honest question for insiders - what are the clues that Mayden is way behind Key?
That is posted as conventional wisdom, but aside from the pick Mayden looked the more assured passer and his spring stats see, to back that up over a longer course. It has not been a high bar, but how has he not at least put himself in a competition over the summer?
Lets just not even play the games and call it a season right now. 6-6 fire moorhead
Not an insider but the fact that he never throws it deep is probably a big part of it.Quote:
